Hello, all! I think this one works pretty well and is a little "prettier" than the rather-depressing a minor chord (or g minor) that I have heard at several parishes.
We usually sing a cappella, as long as the priest intones. I would be loath to give up the podatus, but it is a puzzle how many syllables "myst'ry" should have, isn't it?
